Owners of the luxury brands CHLOE, ALFRED DUNHILL, PANERAI and MONTBLANC sue Pakistani website TRADEKEY.COM and various ‘trading corporations’ in the CD Cal.  Plaintiffs allege that Tradekey, a B2B ‘marketplace, facilitated counterfeiting by managing and  ‘optimizing’ listings for goods it knew to be counterfeit.  A TradeKey representative allegedly advised plaintiffs’ investigator that ‘replicas’ and ‘mirror images’ were the main part of its business, and that less than 10% of the goods on TradeKey were genuine (see pp. 5 to 12 of Memo in support of its TRO).
